Fall River Electric announces partnership on new power plant

Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative is partnering on a new power generation project in northern Idaho aimed at helping keep electricity reliable and affordable for customers across eastern Idaho and southwestern Montana.

The project, being developed through PNGC Power, will use natural gas technology that officials say will be among the most efficient and lowest-emitting power plants in the region. The plant is also expected to have the ability to blend hydrogen into its fuel supply in the future as the technology and infrastructure become available.
